Soundtrack

-Title - Bullied

-Author- Jeff Erno

-Type of book - Romance and Drama

-How the music you have chosen fits the story you have read :

Hopeful - Bars and Melody

This music tells us that a young boy gets bullied and called names for no reasons and he tries to tell his mum, but his mum is having trouble with the dad so that's when his life gets messed up. So I think this song fits the book that I am reading real well, because the book is about teenager’s all over the country gets bullied, tortured and beaten for who they are.

Christmas

Christmas

Every year my family and I always celebrate Christmas. When Christmas day has finally come my family and I have a family gathering and we plan what to do for Christmas. My Aunty (Mum’s sister) and her family come the week before Christmas. My Mum and Aunty cook for the whole week of Christmas. My Aunty cooks dinner, and my Mum makes desserts.

Last year on Christmas Eve my Aunty cooked the family a special meal, roast ham with honey and mustard. For my Aunty’s delicious roast ham, she uses melted butter and spreads it all over the ham, and then she added some pieces of pineapple on the ham and used toothpicks to stick the pineapple on. To add to the dinner my Aunty also cooks either rice or potato. For dessert my mum made jelly and one of her delicious desserts, trifle cake.

In the trifle cake she puts a sponge cake on the bottom and then adds her fillings (cream, strawberry, custard and a sprinkle of nuts and then she repeats the same thing, but instead of strawberries she adds in all sorts of fruit, usually blueberries or mango.

Every year my family and I always celebrate Christmas. When Christmas day finally arrives my Mum and Aunty cook for the whole week of Christmas. I love Christmas with my family.

My Favourite Movie

Favourite Movie

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Do you believe that apes can talk. Some of the things they say are like. ‘Human don’t come near APE’

The dawn of the Planet of the Apes, is one of the best Adventure/Action/Thriller film I've ever seen. The Apes can talk, they can walk and they can also ride on horses and give birth.

The movie, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is for 13+ only, and the movie could be a bit sad and funny. When it’s sad it sometimes make me sad and cry or when it’s funny i’ll laugh or smile . My least favourite part of the movie, is when they try to kill each other and my favourite part of the movie is when they help each other at the end.

This is one of my 2nd favourite movies out of all adventure/thriller/action film, because the apes and the humans, tries to kill each other and the apes cause trouble with the war and the killing, but in the end, the humans save the day.

Xtramaths results

This is my xtramaths result, I moved on to subtraction and I need to improve more, and I also need to learn my subtraction quickly. Subtraction only gives me 10 seconds to write down my answer

I remember

“I remember as if it were yesterday”

I remember as if it were yesterday, when I was in the hall with the netball girls and our coach (Mrs Emma), they were announcing the player of the day and after Mrs Emma announced the year 7 ‘s player of the day, she announced the year 8’s player of the day. I remember she said “The year 8’s player of the day goes to… Chloe”. At that moment I was shocked and I felt happy and excited. All the girls looked at me and they were clapping for me.

At the top of the sky tower

People look like tiny ants from the top of the sky tower. People strolling down memory lane when they walk into a shop they love. Cars racing past the lights.

Netball

How to play Netball

Have you ever played netball? Playing netball is a game that a lot of girls play. Netball is a game that you need to concentrate and focus on. For you to able to play netball, you need 7 players in your team.  They play particular positions.  There is some equipment you need and there are some excellent teams in the world including New Zealand’s silver ferns.

In Netball both teams need seven players because there’s seven position.

The seven positions are GS(Goal Shoot), GA(Goal Attack), WA(Wing Attack), C(Center), WD(Wing Defence), GD(Goal Defence), GK(Goal Keep).

When you're playing netball, make sure you have a bib on with your position label on it so you know what position you are.

If you have the ball, do not run with it you make sure you stay still and pass the ball to a person in your team that is close to you. When pass the ball make sure to chest pass it or over head the ball. You can also pivot with your ground foot if you need to face the other players in your team.

The New Zealand team is called the silver ferns. The Silver ferns played as part of the Commonwealth Games. Te Huinga Reo Selby- Rickit and Kayla Cullen are some of Silver Ferns netball players Te huinga plays GK and Kayla plays WD and the position they play that’s the position I play.

Playing netball is a fun game for me to play, and working together with my team.

At school we have a year 7 and 8 team and we play every Tuesday nights. In my position, I play WD(Wing Defence) and GK(Goal Keep).
